This is literally just a longer version of your previously pointless comment.

I don't think you understand, so let me explain. You asserting that I'm wrong, while claiming that you're right... neither proves me wrong or you right. Proof by assertion is not an argument, it's a logical fallacy. Why? Because you didn't provide anything of substance and you're not addressing the points being made.

If you want me to take you seriously, then you're going to need to stop being so lazy, and actually provide your reasoning. You have to address the specific points you disagree with, provide reasoning as to why you disagree with them (including the sources that I provided), explain why you believe in your views, and provide what your evidence and logic is for your positions.

This should be common sense, I shouldn't have to explain this to you. If you're incapable of doing this then that you means you either lack the ability to defend your views on their own merits or you just can't counter my points properly because you know they're right. Simply, put up or shut up.

This isn't really a reasoning thing, you are just repeating some common lies.

I literally don't care how many of you mouth breathers downvote or repeat the same bullshit assertions. It's not going to change anything. Not a single one of you has been able to address a single point or address a single argument or even point out a single flaw. You didn't and I know you never will either.

This, right here, is the best you could ever do. I literally asked you to provide a case like 3 times now, and you're simply not able to. That's all there is to it. It's clear you're full of shit, you're aware of can't prove me wrong, but you're dishonest to admit you're wrong so you resort to whatever this is. You're done here, I'll only reply if you have something of substance to say, which I know you won't.
